Poured from a can into a tulip. Pours a nice burnt orange w a thin white head. Sticky lacing w each sip. The aroma is really nice orange grapefruit citrus and pine heavy w a little bit of sweet malt and maybe a bready note in there too. Taste is hopforward piney minty orange citrus grapefruit bitter nice light malt backbone but sweet caramelly and then hop closed w a lingering piney bitter finish. Mouthfeel is pretty light w good carbonation. Goes down smooth for a DIPA. Overall I am very glad to have found the last 4-pack in town of this baby and drinking it right now. This is a hop showcase IIPA. Really diggin the Gandhi-Bot.

Edit: had it fresh this time. It's more amazing than I recall. Notes are similar but the nose punch and finish are much "fresher" this time around.

No freshness info apparent on the can. Poured in to tulip.

A - Hazy golden orange with one finger of off-white head.

S - Grapefruit, pine and a light tangerine aroma with a slight caramel malt sweetness.

T - A big bitterness up front that immediately gives way to sweet caramel. Grapefruit, pine and tangerine notes are present. The ABV is remarkably well hidden but the bitterness is much more restrained than I expected.

M - Medium body; somewhat creamy and sticky. Light carbonation.
